The Policeman

Tony Vaughn, a police officer from the Kentucky provincial town of Vicco, was asked by the United States to pay his salary to the BTC. In 2013! When few knew about bitcoin at all. What can be said about paying with it?

After conducting their own research, the city commission nevertheless agreed to such conditions. All his salary began to be converted into bitcoins and automatically transferred to a wallet.

This was probably the first time that a public servant was paid in crypto. The average Police Officer salary in Kentucky is around $54,000 per year, and the Bitcoin price was over $1,000 then. So, any crypto savings that Vaughn kept has been revalued by around 5,300% so far. Not bad.
